Admission: 7 Sickles
I LOVE our cast of 6! It's a nice mix! Ron Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Professor Severus Snape, Hedwig and Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. So... a CoS setting?
Quick Question: do we only use these 6 character's names in our story, so there's no mention of the missing Harry, for instance? Or can we mention other characters, but just have dialog, and in Hedwig's case, action, just for the 6 named characters? I would go with the latter.
Also, BB, just out of curiosity, what was your nice line? Maybe it could be inserted somewhere, somehow?

Hey, they had fireworks at Hogwarts, why not elsewhere? I'm sure they'll make the safe, well, not overtly dangerous anyway.
PAH, I didn't have anything great. Just some stuff about anti-magic screening to ensure the muggle act was real. I'm sure you have had an incident where you puzzled over what to post to find out that you have been beaten to the punch. I was just a bit disappointed (and pouting) about having to start all over.
It's unrealistic to try and have all six words with six characters in them. Maybe we should just implement that the first and last words need six characters (or at least one of the two). Some variation on this might make it a bit easier.

sickles. See you all there!
BB, I don't think anyone is suggesting we only try to use words with 6 letters! I think that would make our task virtually impossible!
I agree with PAH's suggestion. Only the 6 selected characters can be present in the story, but other characters can be mentioned.

Dreaming of a family holiday
To echo what Verity said BB, no one suggested using words with six characters (_ _ _ _ _ _), but a story with only 6 characters physically present in in the story. I tried to write this sentence with all six letter words, and couldn't get past 'I".
Since it's December 1st nearly (or already) that means we're even closer to our anniversary date of the 9th, so let's aim to have this story done by the 7th, by the latest, so that I have time to get it ready to post on the 9th. Let's see if that means 1 more ad, or two.

- If it's a tourism company, they may offer both seaside holidays and wizarding adventure tours perhaps.

I think dragon-watching is something like bird-watching, only more adventurous.

Ripplemere's Roving Recreations! Mention this
In my experience, there's usually something good that comes from mentioning an ad.

Today is December 3rd. After this ad wraps up, do we try for just one more? Or do we stop and wait for the anniversary story to start on the 9th?

Visit our shop in Diagon
It's slowed down a bit on here. I think it would be safer to end after this one, to make sure we're all wrapped up in time for the anniversary.

I would enjoy another ad but I can't promise much participation in the coming days. It may be safer to finish with this one, so there is no hurry.
